Have you installed TWRP as recovery or are you trying to use built in recovery?
Volume up, home button, and power as its starting up.
This will work with stock recovery or team win recovery.
Then factory reset/clear data.

Looks like you messed up when rooting...no big deal.
ODIN back to stock, then use the CF AUTO ROOT again, the flash TWRP in ODIN and all will be okay.

How much sweat did you get in your phone? I have had my phone in pouring rain, got water in the sensor, and rubbing alcohol the whole nine and my phone functions just like it came out the box. Are you running a custom recovery?

More information will yield more answers.
What device, what rom, what recovery, what have you done so far.....we need a little more info than this....you tried all the firmwares? Say what?
What kind of sweat. Like gym sweat or sex sweat? Get replacement
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I flashed the ank4 firmware and that is what its doing, right when I put the battery in
tmobile note 4, I tried Odin with all firmwares for that model, the Anj7, ank4, and the anih

@BACARDILIMON is correct, get it replaced!
Definetly leave out the sweat part. U plugged it in last night and when u woke up phone was off. You powered it up and u got a weird blue screen. Done
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Lets just say when I woke up the phone was under me, and its not a blue screen, it is saying Samsung galaxy note 4 with recovery in blue at the top, phone didn't work for a day, now it is at least doing that, but yeah maybe something is ruined on the board but thanks for all of u guys comments, positive and negative, that's what this site is for, people who voice their opinion so I will wait a few days to see what the phone does then eventually get another one, thanks again guys

So let me get this straight, you are in bootloop (phone not broken) and you have the tiny blue letter that says going to recover but you never go into recovery? Your recovery is messed up...
So when you ODIN, assuming you are doing it properly (bad wires can give false "passed" status and you will bootlop) If you have a bad Odin, you will bootloop.
Make sure to ODIN and uncheck "reboot" and once odin is done, try to go into recovery yourself and wipe your data.
I will suggest better wiring as well. A simple good ODIN will get you back on track my friend
I will try it tonight, thanks

Your recovery didn't stick. It shouldn't be a huge deal. You need to start over. Flash TWRP via ODIN. The phone won't let you boot into any ROM if it doesn't think a recovery is installed. By trashing to flash the stock firmaware it tried to flash the stock recovery over TWRP and it didn't work. If flashing TWRP in ODIN doesn't work, you may want to try to flash the stock recovery image by it self. My guess is that once you get a working recovery installed on the phone it will boot up just fine.

This is my thought. I had this same exact mess happen, on the note 3 though, and it was from a borked recovery. Once I got that part corrected I had no more problems. Flashing a stock image didn't work but forcing TWRP to the recovery partition did. Took me a while to decide to go that route for whatever reason.

Use ODIN 3.09 or above, the other ones were giving problems. I read that somewhere.
Hi,
My phone -Note 4 N910T- is stucked at bootscreen, and it can not to boot into recovery mode too. It is bootloop after upgrading by OTA from Kitkat 4.4.4 - N910TUVU1ANK4.
I tried to flash stock firmware( using both "N910TUVU1ANK4" and "N910TUVU1COD6" ), or full files stock firmware ( included PIT files),but it hasn't worked. I also tried to flash by Smatch Swich, everything seem OK but it can not fix.
I attached some photos of my problem for your reference.
Please help me.
Thanks,

I was going to suggest the same thing. Try using Kies and go to Tools\Emergency firmware recovery and see if that works.

It is pretty hard to brick these phones. Just in case you have a bad file or something. Grab the zip and follow these instructions. I know that all these files in this zip are good so it is worth a shot.
Even if you know what you are doing, follow the instructions exactly, you may be overlooking something. It happens to everyone sometimes.

After you odin whichever firmware you flashed, wait about 10 min or so on that boot screen that is stucked. Then pull the battery out. Go into stock recovery but power+home+vol up. Then select wipe data/reset. Reboot and it should boot just fine.
At least that's how i fixed my phone that stuck few times like what you going through.

The problem is my phone can not access to stock recovery or TWRP recovery. It just stuck at first bootscreen which is shown "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 powered by Android", then restart and stuck again. So that I can not wipe data or reset to fix.

Since you can still get into download mode, what happens if you flash TWRP through ODIN? Step 10 in the instructions I posted assuming it is still rooted or start at step 8 if not. Just to see if you can get recovery working again.
You are wasting time...start over, it's your best and quickest fix....

Anyone please help. I am fairly new too the whole Android scheme of things and everywhere I look I see gibberish all talk about Roms and flashes and I don't know what to do. I have a Galaxy Note 4 in a rebbot loop, I tried to root with this thing called kingo root. And I rebooted my phone and it doesn't turn on it goes to the T-Mobile screen then powers off and repeats the process. I need to know how to factory reset the phone. I already tried to wipe the phone in recovery and same problem. I don't want a root or custom OS I just want to get the phone working. And as dumb down as possible. I'm so used to the one click jailbreak on iPhone and not the complexity of rooting and it screwed me over. I just want to know how to reset the phone and get it working.
Thanks
Lollipop 5.1.1 was what it was running and I have an SD Card if I need to reset from external since ik that's an option.

Look on here how to Odin 5.1.1. Thatll give you a fresh start. I suggest staying away from kingoroot or king root. Use cf-autoroot.

This could help you also - you could try to re-root and flash the kernel in this video that should get you going.

Look for a program called odin 3.10 and dl it to deaktop. Then dl 5.1.1 firmware . Also dl twrp 2.8 or higher . Once you have everything put phone into dl mode by holding power ,home and volume down. Once in dl open up odin and connect your phone to computer. Click pda and look for the twrp and flash it. Once done put phone into recovery by pressing power,home and up volume. Once in recovery wipe to factory reset. Now put phone back into dl mode and do the same with the firmware you dl. Make sure you extract the 5.1.1 file and it's a tar so you can flash it. Once it's ready flash the tar and you should be back to stock with no problem.

Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks
- this phone was never locked before
- Replaced the battery once
- one day when there were a bunch of apps that needed update with probably 35% battery I let it update and after that it kept rebooting
- So installed the twrp recovery.tar.md5 from here that didnt help
- So then from sammobile I downloaded the latest firmware and installed it, that didnt help too
So the question is can I just wipe the whole phone and start fresh? -

So I tried this yesterday evening,
- I did install the latest firmware which was suggest in by one of the comments above :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651442761499080
- then flashed it with philz recovery and did the factory reset and rebooted it but no luck.
- when restart the phone, its shows the Samsung note 4 logo then shuts off.
im afraid to say that your note 4 might bebroken now. If you go to the note 4 reddit, this has happened to many people and has something to do with the solder degrading after a few years iirc. Best thing you can do is buy a motherboard replacement for around 60 on eBay if nothing else works. I have replaced 3 note 4 motherboards for people i know that this has happened to.

^^^This. I just had to replace our two Note 4 after years of service over the last two months. Same symptoms as yours. It is most assuredly hardware related.
Even "better", from the two replacements sent by TMo, one failed within the week. The replacement just abruptly shut off and doesn't turn back on unless the battery is removed for 20 min. or so.
However, once it turns on it freezes. Try to boot to recovery, it freezes before even loading it up. One time the screen display even corrupted on me.
So, tldr, it is time for a replacement MoBo. Good luck!
